Resource Mortgage Review

The law firm of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz was
hired to review loans originated by Resource
Mortgage

Wachtell hired Promontory Financial Group LLC to
assist in the review

Their review has been completed

Review focused on loans originated from January 1,
2005 through October 2007

Goal was to determine if there were additional
potentially material occurrences of misrepresentation
of borrower information

16

Resource Mortgage Review (Continued)

Review involved sampling and analyzing loan data,
document examination, and interviews

Sampling criteria: identifying loans with high loan to
value ratios, borrowers with low credit scores,
limited documentation, other “high-risk” criteria, and
certain previously identified loans

KPMG reviewed work-papers and sampling
methodology

Based on the results of the review, no changes were
required in the corporation’s consolidated financial
statements for the 3^rd quarter
